"Tank! is one of the greatest pieces of jazz music ever created!!! Phinomenal song from a great album!!!" Reply
""The Wind That Shakes the Barley" (a newly arranged Irish ballad from the 18th century) is beautiful because of the self-assured but modest performance of Lisa Gerrard. It is particularly deserving that music that deviates strongly from contemporary time and culture, thereby losing its popularity..." [+] Reply
"Another album that works fantastically well as a whole. Dark, brooding, lyrically challenging (as was all Matt Johnson's work) - any album to play at the start of a dark winter's night. Great atmosphere." Reply
"Wow... Not sure I can get in to this one. I'm all for experimenting but very little of this album even resembles a song. Just noise." Reply

"No More Tears came as a bit of surprise.

"Their last really great album before becoming shadows of their former selves. Love the Brazilian tribal aspects, adds to the whole atmosphere while remaining brutally angry and pissed off throughout. Max Cavalera left some blood on the microphone making this one." Reply

"Not to imply that Orchid is bad or that it’s not worth listening to, but Mornigrise serves as a major step forward in solidifying a sonic identity Opeth could be recognized by. Akerfeldt has always had one of the best growls in the business as far as I’m concerned. This is a great and dynamic sop..." [+] Reply
